Anyone see my DIFF on th 5 freeway?

So it's finally happened. I knew that it would only be about a week more left in it but my rear end blew to *****. All smashing into 3rd and right out of the on ramp at Broadway and it was all over once the sound of grinding metal filled the air. I think i even seen someone looking over at mee from the other direction of the freeway , really loud. anyways i'm just lucky that it didn't lock up on me although it did when i tried pushing it out for the truck to come and move it. SO now i got myself a nice paper weight, but
I'm wondering if anyone had a suggestion to what I should do for a new REar enD.

i've got
79 sa gsl-se suspension, racingbeat springs ,tokico adjs.
(soon to be installed) microtech lt-10s// but current (haltech e6k)
13b ,turbo tranny, custom driveshaft 2 3/4" // gsl-se rear end (blown)
t4 turbo . custom turbo manifold,3", 310 hp i guess-

is there anything thats better then another -se rear end although cheaper than doing a Ford REeR enD

To your last question... no.

a good rebuild should be okay with that power. I ran my v8 >325hp and a **** lot of torque on my -SE rear with no problems and still using the same rear with my Sr20det.

Depending on what axels/driveshaft you have you might be able to put a miata torsen rear into your housing.

Search it up, there's plenty of info, but lots to sort through in terms of which years of miata rear work with which years rx7 rear...
